Hey, what’s up you guys? Marty here with a fun soloing trick—guitar licks that sound way harder than they are using open strings in the key of G! Perfect for adding that "wow" factor without shredding your fingers off.
In this lesson we’ll cover:
⦿ Open-string hammer-ons and pull-offs
⦿ Lick ideas in the G minor pentatonic scale
⦿ Tips for using the D and G strings for extra flavor
⦿ Octave runs and flashy-sounding intervals
⦿ A little Angus Young-inspired action (yep, Thunderstruck vibes)
Why sweat it when you can fret it—open strings do the heavy lifting so you don’t have to!
